So many things, so little time

Oh good grief, no updates because it has been craaaaaazeeeeey for the past few weeks. It doesn't help when things are getting from worst to worster and worstest, I mean, I nearly wanted to quit this bitch of the job because this agency is going downhill. I mean where got people do so many pitches back to back like that and overstretch the manpower? Rubbish targets! Anyhoo...

I have to deal with some shits here and there - I am really torn and busy researching, deciding on many things for next year RTW trip. So many things to consider and plan. You would think that holiday is easy - it's really work.

Shit to think about:
  • Packing and clothes - no more fashion victim here, everything needs to be practical. Granted in the photos, I would look like a straight man but is that the worst that can happen to me? I don't think so. Clothes that doesn't dry quick enough and smell is more important.
  • Bags - not too bad but trying to find the cheapest deal for day bag
  • Insurance - this is a huge bomb considering that taking off for a year or so doesn't exist in the Asian context hence there's not many options if you weren't Ang Moh
  • Security stuff - locks and shit, again no options here but to buy online
  • Money and finances - again & again, less options when it comes to ATM, bank fees and stuff
The thing about RTW trips are, most of the goodies are meant for people outside of Asia and sometimes makes you wanna cry thinking about how much harder and longer you have to work because of the weak currency. A 26 year old in US can probably save up as much as a 32 year old in Asia....#sadbuttruestory

Also think about it this way, as a non Asian, traveling to Asia meant that their money can stretch further wherelse I want to travel out of Asia which can be very expensive since I am nearly done with it barring China (which is a huge trip by itself and a few nice places here and there), Japan which I will tackle next year, Australia...ok so thats just one place and then NZ. Asia Pacific is almost done.....and can be completed anytime.

Well, I have came so far, the battle continues. Now if someone is kind enough to buy up all my remaining bags, I would be very very happy.

Of late, I have been home consistently early (my definition of early is different very lar) and one of the things that I've noticed on TV was the return of shows from the past. I suppose kids/cikus these days might not know but those who are somewhat old enough in the 90s will know this - back in the day we don't even have more than 5 TV channels and there was no Internet nor iPhone or anything else. Any form of entertainment on TV - Chinese language would either came from Hong Kong (in VHS tape, TV series) or locally produced. Back then HVD was the giant production house who produced tons of Chinese and Malay TV series. Looking back, the quality aint that bad - just that I noticed guys back then like to wear vest, oversized clothing, some even have suspenders, funny glasses and floppy hair. But of course the good times (and bad fashion) has to end, HVD went kaput during 1997's recession and all the actors lost their job. Most of them either tried their luck overseas or wen...
